Algiers – Joint detachments of the People’s National Army (ANP), in coordination with various security services, have successfully thwarted attempts to smuggle approximately 10 quintals (1000 kg) of treated cannabis across the border with Morocco. The operations, conducted over the past week, highlight the ongoing efforts to combat cross-border crime and drug trafficking.
According to an operational report released by the ANP on Wednesday, the vigilance and coordinated actions of the army and security forces were instrumental in intercepting the illicit substances. The seizure represents a significant blow to organized criminal networks attempting to exploit the border region for illegal activities.
DZWatch has learned that the operations involved intensive surveillance and patrol activities along the border strip. The ANP remains committed to securing national borders and preventing the entry of narcotics and other contraband into the country. This latest success underscores the effectiveness of the army’s strategy in combating drug trafficking and maintaining security in the region.
The ongoing security situation along the border with Morocco remains a concern for Algerian authorities. The ANP continues to reinforce its presence and enhance its operational capabilities to address the evolving threats posed by criminal groups and other destabilizing elements. The army’s dedication to protecting the nation’s borders and ensuring the safety and security of its citizens remains a top priority.
Further details regarding the specific location of the seizures and the individuals involved are expected to be released in the coming days as investigations continue.
